18 They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.
19 But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.
20 Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.
21 Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.
22 I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,
23 Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred ye affliction of the poore: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he called vnto him, he heard.
25 My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.
26 The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.
27 All the endes of the worlde shall remember themselues, and turne to the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.
29 All they that be fat in the earth, shall eate and worship: all they that go downe into the dust, shall bowe before him, euen he that cannot quicken his owne soule.
30 Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
23 1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.
4 Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.
5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.
6 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
24 1 A Psalme of David. The earth is the Lordes, and all that therein is: the worlde and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it vpon the seas: and established it vpon the floods.
3 Who shall ascende into the mountaine of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.
5 He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.
6 This is the generation of them that seeke him, of them that seeke thy face, this is Iaakob. Selah.
7 Lift vp your heads ye gates, and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glorie? the Lord, strong and mightie, euen the Lord mightie in battell.
9 Lift vp your heads, ye gates, and lift vp your selues, ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glorie shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? the Lord of hostes, he is the King of glorie. Selah.
25 1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.
2 My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.
3 So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.
4 Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.
5 Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.
7 Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.
8 Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.
9 Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.
10 All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.
13 His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.
14 The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.
15 Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.
16 Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.
17 The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.
18 Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.
19 Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.
20 Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.
21 Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.
22 Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
26 1 A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.
2 Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.
4 I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
5 I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
7 That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.
8 O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
10 In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.
12 My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
27 1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
2 When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
4 One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
5 For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
6 And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
7 Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
8 When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
9 Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
10 Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
11 Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12 Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
13 I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
14 Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
28 1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.
2 Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
3 Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.
4 Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.
5 For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
6 Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.
8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
9 Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
29 1 A Psalme of David. Give vnto the Lord, ye sonnes of the mightie: giue vnto the Lord glorie and strength.
2 Giue vnto the Lord glorie due vnto his Name: worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.
3 The voyce of the Lord is vpon the waters: the God of glorie maketh it to thunder: the Lord is vpon the great waters.
4 The voyce of the Lord is mightie: the voyce of the Lord is glorious.
5 The voyce of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to leape like a calfe: Lebanon also and Shirion like a yong vnicorne.
7 The voice of the Lord deuideth the flames of sire.
8 The voice of the Lord maketh the wildernes to tremble: the Lord maketh the wildernes of Kadesh to tremble.
9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hindes to calue, and discouereth the forests: therefore in his Temple doth euery man speake of his glory.
10 The Lord sitteth vpon the flood, and the Lord doeth remaine King for euer.
11 The Lord shall giue strength vnto his people: the Lord shall blesse his people with peace.
30 1 A Psalme or song of the dedication of the house of David. I will magnifie thee, O Lord: for thou hast exalted mee, and hast not made my foe to reioyce ouer me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried vnto thee, and thou hast restored me.
3 O Lord, thou hast brought vp my soule out of the graue: thou hast reuiued me from them that goe downe into the pit.
4 Sing praises vnto the Lord, ye his Saintes, and giue thankes before the remembrance of his Holinesse.
5 For he endureth but a while in his anger: but in his fauour is life: weeping may abide at euening, but ioy commeth in the morning.
6 And in my prosperitie I sayde, I shall neuer be moued.
7 For thou Lord of thy goodnes hadest made my mountaine to stande strong: but thou didest hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 Then cried I vnto thee, O Lord, and praied to my Lord.
9 What profite is there in my blood, when I go downe to the pit? shall the dust giue thankes vnto thee? or shall it declare thy trueth?
10 Heare, O Lord, and haue mercy vpon me: Lord, be thou mine helper.
11 Thou hast turned my mourning into ioy: thou hast loosed my sacke and girded mee with gladnesse.
12 Therefore shall my tongue praise thee and not cease: O Lord my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.
